Bypassing Cocoon formatting for certain browsers

["Corda, Ugo" <Ug...@usa.xerox.com>]

I would like to prevent Cocoon from processing and formatting an xml file
and associated xsl stylesheet in cases where the client browser has already
the capability of doing that locally (e.g. IE 5.0, when the stylesheet
generates HTML).  Is there a way to tell Cocoon not to do anything in the
case the requesting browser is of a particular type?

Thank you,

Hmmm, like many other things that Cocoon is currently missing, the
sitemap proposal should handle them property. This is one of them.

As a pretty dirty hack (to get it working now), you can create a dummy
stylesheet that copies over everything without touching and apply it
based on the media type of your particular web browser.

Hope this helps.
